Scenery Medley contrasts

Marshes and meadows
Sunshine and shadows

Gentle ripples on the calm river
Foaming rapids in white water

The jungle echoes in the semi-darkness
while daylight creepy-crawlies clear the mess.

Peasants toiling and pheasants scratching
as I spy a cricket somersaulting

The cactus the desert's prickly femme-fatale
elsewhere a lone leaf floats in the canal

Prairie dogs go popping
while hares go hopping
and ladies go shopping

Swans have formed a V-line
The flora too is so divine
as bees nosedive in bee-line.

Seista seizes birdlovers too
Thus they miss out on the hoopoe's song
For the hoopoe, it does not sing on cue
since a bird may sing anytime to woo.

What a medley eh of scenery
Murky eve and dawning greenery

Ah, wherever you go nature's so panoramic
While we make and take pictures
God actually made what's so picturesque!

Another lovely poem. Beautifully observed details of contrasts. Nature certainly is so panoramic. It does make one realise how inadequate is mankind in comparison. But we certainly can appreciate God's picturesque scenes. Thank you for writing this poem.

I see you have only got two poems posted up on face Book. I think you have some more?

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Hmm yeah more will be coming but I have too many Tim e constraints. In your 30s its hard to find time I guess.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Oh you are still young! Still in the 'experiencing life' zone. There will be plenty of time later. Perhaps you could do what I did . Jot down ideas and rough copies now, then, when you have more time, in later years, do some editing and making them into good poems.

If you click on the picture it enlarges nicely and clearer. But I didn't yet see how to put a bigger pic on top like some others here do so I still need help if someone would tell me how to do it. Thanx
